Played in one of my fav Marcelo matches - at RG in 97 - Marcelo was obviously going 'walkabout' for the first 2 sets, then woke up, and gave Wayne a thrashing. Toyed with Wayne to such an extent, Marcelo made him look foolish.

I think for me the most talented of all times was (Marcelo) Rios. Marat Safin, 2004

Marcelo has an enormous talent. Gaudio, RG champion 2004

"Rios ... he has a beautiful game, great forehand and great touch," Federer, World number 1
